The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- A Kanpur shopkeeper named Golu urinated on an intoxicated man lying unconscious on a road about 18 to 20 days ago, after being egged on by friends.
- Golu then poured cold water from a bottle on the victim, and friends recorded and posted the video on social media.
- The victim filed no complaint, so police registered a case on their own on September 16 under BNS sections 292, 352, 355 and IT Act section 67.
- Golu has gone into hiding since the video went viral, and police teams continue searching for him.
- The case highlights how viral videos are prompting police action even when victims do not come forward.
What to watch next
- Whether police arrest Golu, who is currently absconding
- Whether the victim comes forward or is identified and given support
- Whether others who filmed and posted the video face action under the IT Act
